Global Family

The world is at a crossroads. It can either go down the existing path and kill each other and maybe even destroy this planet. The other option is to learn to live like a global family. To achieve the second option, we need to raise the global consciousness from the lower material level of selfishness, hate, anger, etc. to the divine level of love, cooperation, peace, mutual respect, and empathy among other qualities. That can only happen at the divine level of consciousness which enables people to realize the Oneness of creation and that we are all connected. We are all expansions and manifestations of the Ultimate Reality. Only then can we build a global family and bring peace, prosperity, love, cooperation, and happiness into our lives. OM Kriya yoga is a time-tested system of yoga or austerities that enable people to elevate themselves to the divine level and make the global family a reality.

Humans have created artificial vivisections of the society in every conceivable way, be it religion, race, caste, creed, region, nation, and so many others. Religious, national strife is a regular feature; humans show hatred toward their fellow beings over nominal things and, of course, the reasons for dissention. There is limited place for self-improvement or inner introspection or self-development. But the life aims and goals should be understood and practiced and included in people’s lifestyle, along with merriment and having a good time. Some Whispers from Eternity was written after seeing and experiencing the total degradation of life on earth and lack of empathy and compassion of humans living here for one another.

Some Whispers From Eternity
Some Whispers from Eternity takes readers on an introspective journey into the depths of spirituality, consciousness, and human potential through the lens of OM Kriya Yoga. Shomik Chaudhuri weaves his experiences and teachings into a compelling narrative that not only introduces the philosophy of Kriya Yoga but also delves into ancient Vedic practices, chakras, and the Koshas. The book is a call to rediscover inner peace and divine connection in a world riddled with division and materialism.
One aspect of the book that stands out is Chaudhuri’s ability to simplify profound concepts. For example, in Chapter 1, the exploration of the “Science of Ancient Vedic Temples” reveals the intricate harmony between spiritual energy and architectural design. Chaudhuri’s explanation of temples as powerhouses of cosmic vibrations highlights their timeless relevance. I found myself fascinated by how ancient wisdom translates into modern significance—something rarely articulated so clearly.
Chaudhuri’s descriptions are heartfelt and passionate, though they sometimes lean heavily on repeated encouragement to embrace spirituality, particularly in his emphasis on practicing austerities for self-transformation. In Chapter 8, “The Path of Austerities,” I admired the intent and found the message meaningful, though a touch of nuanced storytelling or personal anecdotes could have added variety to the instructional tone. Even so, his sincerity shines through, making it clear that this is a deeply personal and heartfelt work.
What truly moved me was the section on OM Kriya Yoga. Chapter 10 offers a rare breakdown of this traditionally esoteric practice, making it accessible to readers without prior exposure. The detailed instructions combined with the philosophical grounding make this chapter the book’s centerpiece. I couldn’t help but feel inspired by Chaudhuri’s conviction that Kriya Yoga is a tool for individual and collective upliftment.
The conclusion brings everything together, urging readers to integrate spiritual practices into daily life. Chaudhuri’s emphasis on humanity’s collective responsibility to usher in a “Golden Age” is both uplifting and challenging.
Some Whispers from Eternity is an earnest and thought-provoking read. It’s perfect for seekers of spiritual knowledge, particularly those curious about Yoga’s philosophical underpinnings and practical applications. While not light reading, its insights are profound, making it a worthwhile companion for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual journey.
